Port Settings
Setting Description
Port The number of the switch port, including port type (such as Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet), the base switch or the
switch expansion module number (1, 2, or 3), and the specific port number. For example:
• Gi/1 is the gigabit port 1 of the base switch.
• Fa1/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the base switch.
• Fa2/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the first switch expansion module.
• Fa3/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the second switch expansion module.
Description The description of the switch port. The limit is 18 characters.
We recommend that you provide a port description to help identify the port during monitoring and troubleshooting. The
description can be the location of the connected device or the name of the person using the connected device.
Enable The state of the switch port. The default is Enable.
Uncheck the selection for the port to administratively (manually) shut down the port. We recommend disabling the port if the port
is not in use and is not attached to a device.
An example of when to change this setting is during troubleshooting. You can troubleshoot a suspected unauthorized connection
by administratively disabling the port.
